Blogging: Getting Started

Categories

Here is today’s agenda:

  1. Mini Quiz!!! You may use the texts for this, but you only have five minutes, so if you didn’t read, you’re screwed. 🙂 Take out a piece of paper.
    • Write down two pieces of advice from Austin Kleon’s Steal Like An Artist, chapters 6-10, that you liked.
    • Now write down two pieces of advice from Alex Reid’s Why Blog? that you liked.
    • Now write down one thing you learned from the Writing in the Genres of the Web chapter of the Web Writing Style Guide.
  2. Discuss the reading via our quiz answers (5 minutes)
  3. Upload our design plans and mood boards to the Writing Studio dropbox (5 minutes)
  4. Set up our WordPress accounts and go through the basics of setting up your blog/website. (30 minutes)
  5. Preview agenda for Monday’s class (5 minutes)

Most English Department faculty no longer have office phones. This means that the only way to reach me outside of class is to physically come to office hours or to email. During the work week I check email several times a day between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. Under normal circumstances I respond to email within 24 hours. If you email after 5:00 pm on a Friday (i.e., on the weekend) you might not receive a reply until Monday morning.
